The bug ever

[futurebird]

Using woodlouse logic gates in your natural circuits.

Isopods have 7 pairs of legs all pretty much the same length.

74** logic gates have … 7 pairs of legs all the same length!

Coincidence? I think not!

Clearly, each isopod contains 4 logic gates. This Armadillidium vulgare has 4 AND gates. Don't forget to connect power & ground legs & use pull-down resistors on inputs.

(best practice is to simply ask the rollie to position itself in your circuit.)

Like most natural systems. they use micro-voltages, don't use standard 5V power sources.

all my twitter mutuals are fighting over juriori and satorika and its making me so upset!!!! higurashi and utena are SO similar thematically and both pairings are so good im sorry if this makes me a yuri centrist but we should all be holding hands

LITERALLYYYYYY SPEAK YOUR TRUTH OOMFIE both series deal heavily with misogyny and satoko's story in gou satokowashi in particular is about how women have to maneuver a world which is actively hostile to them and forces them to compete with one another (this is the entire reason satoko is abused and ostracized by the other girls bc she fails at performing womanhood!!!!!) which is VERY utena!!!!!! satoko and shiori are besties to me

IMPORTANT REVELATION THERE IS AN ISOPOD IN MY KITCHEN

hi, are you still taking orders/preorders for your charms?

hi - there is still some stock left but the umineko, some XIV charms, and all the uchikoshi charms have sold out unfortunately. I can let you know when I restock if you want!

You know Lechonk reminds me of Herbert from Big City Greens and the Pig-Like Sowbug Marcy used in Amphibia.

willion for the shipping bingo :3

I'M NGL I FEEL BAD NOT BEING AS INVESTED AS OTHER PEOPLE IN WILL/LION. Marked "fanon gets them wrong" because I don't like a lot of people I have seen reducing Lion to the ""woman"" of the pairing. like the [SPOILERS] aside it's kind of weird and missing the point of their ambiguous gender identity. more thoughts under the cut because they are spoilery and my gf has not finished reading umnk yet

I say "I could write essays" because arc 7 is such a fantastic example of how umnk uses its narrators to twist the story's emotional highs/lows -- particularly from Kinzo's POV and how even an "objective" reader like Will can be fed stories filtered through rose-colored lenses but arrive at the "truth" somehow as long as they don't neglect the heart (in this case, Clair's heart, which Lion is a part of)

Anyway even if I can't 100% get emotionally invested in them compared to other umnk pairings I still find them very endearing... I really relate to the idea umnk presents of characters in stories just kind of, running away from you as an author and somehow writing themselves into existence, so the idea of Will/Lion's lives from arc 7 onward just being able to exist forever even if it is "within the catbox" of the endless worlds is so wonderful. and also very clever foreshadowing.

Found many a sowbug today too

[futurebird]

In the carpark near a beach in CT I discovered a group of isopods up to no good.

The pill bugs had formed a pentagram of beach trash, mostly delicate bones of birds & fish. It was about the size of a quarter. They kept adjusting it and adding to it as I watched, horrified, yet fascinated.

I was so engrossed in the mysterious antics of the little woodlice that I didn't even notice the man who'd joined me watching, until he spoke.

"Amazing aren't they?" He said, his voice deep, but warm. 1/ next
